--- Begin Message ---Package: gdm3 Version: 3.6.1-2 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, With the Experimental gdm3, after several times of logging out of GNOME-Shell (6-7 times, for example), the text terminal is shown instead of GDM. Logging in with the text terminal and restarting gdm3 make it appear again though. In addition to that (and perhaps as another bug), GDM's shut-down and restart menuitems doesn't do anything anymore. I have nVidia 304.64-2 from Unstable and haven't changed /etc/gdm3/greeter.gsettings (gdm uses gdm-fallback). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.6.8-pf (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gdm3 depends on: ii accountsservice 0.6.21-7 ii adduser 3.113+nmu3 ii dconf-gsettings-backend 0.12.1-2 ii dconf-tools 0.12.1-2 ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.46 ii dpkg 1.16.9 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.34.2-1 ii gnome-session [x-session-manager] 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-session-bin 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-session-fallback [x-session-manager] 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.6.1-1 ii gnome-terminal [x-terminal-emulator] 3.6.1-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.6.0-1 ii icewm [x-window-manager] 1.3.7-4 ii libaccountsservice0 0.6.21-7 ii libatk1.0-0 2.6.0-1 ii libaudit0 1:1.7.18-1.1 ii libc6 2.13-37 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.2-2.1 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2.1 ii libcanberra-gtk3-0 0.28-5 ii libcanberra0 0.28-5 ii libfontconfig1 2.9.0-7 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.34.2-1 ii libglib2.0-bin 2.34.2-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.6.1-1 ii libpam-modules 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam-runtime 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpam0g 1.1.3-7.1 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii librsvg2-common 2.36.4-1 ii libselinux1 2.1.9-5 ii libupower-glib1 0.9.17-1 ii libwrap0 7.6.q-24 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxau6 1:1.0.7-1 ii libxdmcp6 1:1.1.1-1 ii libxrandr2 2:1.3.2-2 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian8 ii metacity [x-window-manager] 1:2.34.3-3 ii policykit-1-gnome 0.105-2 ii twm [x-window-manager] 1:1.0.6-1 ii upower 0.9.17-1 ii x11-common 1:7.7+1 ii x11-xserver-utils 7.7~3 ii xterm [x-terminal-emulator] 278-2 Versions of packages gdm3 recommends: ii at-spi2-core 2.7.1-1 ii desktop-base 7.0.3 ii gnome-icon-theme 3.6.0-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.6.0-1 ii x11-xkb-utils 7.7~1 ii xserver-xephyr 2:1.12.4-3 ii xserver-xorg 1:7.7+1 ii zenity 3.4.0-2 Versions of packages gdm3 suggests: pn gnome-orca <none> ii gnome-shell 3.6.2-1 pn gok <none> ii libpam-gnome-keyring 3.6.1-1 -- debconf information: * shared/default-x-display-manager: gdm3 gdm3/daemon_name: /usr/sbin/gdm3
